[The Soldier had waited until Rosinante has set his boat in the water, leaving the crafting supplies free again, before it came down to the water to start one itself. The spirits like when it makes boats and sends them out with their little lights. So does the Soldier, to be honest. So every time its patrol takes it close to the harbor, here it is, making another one.

Lucky for Rosinante, that means the Soldier is already crouching by the paper when the spirit comes running. There's a command to follow: help that person get the spirit. The metal hand lashes out, catches the spirit by one of its stubby little legs, and hoists it into the air.

Without a word, but with a stern expression that says "I am disappointed in you," it holds out its flesh hand to the up-side-down creature for the stolen hat.]
